Week 2 - Communicate a Noun - Lines


CRAFT
I used thick black horizontal lines to create the basic form of the vessel. I filled in any white space with black, which left me with an essentially solid black shape somewhat resembling a teapot. I then added much thinner horizontal lines in white to add detail and depth to it. I used the zoom-in tool to add even thinner white lines in between already existing ones to create a unique look.

COMPOSITION
It was my desire to draw the viewer's eye to the details of the teapot. However, I regret that I did not take more time to sketch the details with more accuracy. The handle is the first thing, which wasn't exactly my intention, but I went a little crazy with the use of white line in that area. As for the scale, the image is relatively small. I experienced some trouble in creating images larger than this. I used black and white lines of differing sizes.

CONCEPT
This is intended to be an image of a drinking vessel, specifically a teapot. It kind of reminds me of an engraving, although a pretty rough one. I wanted to record the details of the vessel with much more accuracy, but I ran out of time. The form is a little distorted, but I'm hoping that my skills with the sketch pen will improve over the course of this semester.
